Description
Thunder Bay Field Naturalists has successfully purchased a new property. The Ward Lake Nature Reserve will protect 410 acres of rugged and scenic wilderness south of the City of Thunder Bay. The Reserve includes parts of two inland lakes, some dramatic cliffs, and a small creek that flows from Ward Lake down towards Sturgeon Bay. Tree species on the property include Jack Pine, White Pine, and both Red and Sugar Maple. The nearby cliffs were the site of the first re-introduction of Peregrine Falcons into Ontario back in 1989, and Peregrines still nest in the area today. The Ward Lake Nature Reserve will protect an excellent example of the Nor’westers landscape that dominates the area south of the city.
Thank You to our recent Nature Reserves Supporters!
